Arizona has contacted UC Irvine G Max Hazzard as possible transfer

[KansasCityCats]

Is this under the assumption that Randolph is leaving?  If not, I assumed he would share duties at the 3 with Armstrong while B-Will, Green and Barcello were at the SG position.

Either way, we have a lot of talent at the wing.

Hazzard will be in Tucson tomorrow for a visit.

Any chance he commits this weekend?

I'm struggling to see where Hazzard would get minutes.  I'd assume he's looking for playing time wherever he transfers to.  His value, IMO, would only be if there were an injury where he could fill in.  That said, if everybody is healthy, I'd much rather see the minutes go to Nico, Williams, Green, Armstrong, Doutrive, etc.

As much as it's great to play young guys, if we're a win now championship competitor team next year he would play over doutrive, and armstrong and green are likely the 3's so comparing them to hazzard is irrelevant. Nico, bwill and hazzard would play the pg/sg minutes which is likely 25 minutes or so each and that would still leave 6-7 for doutrive.

I believe this is where the disconnect lies.
I am going to assume people believe DD is going to have an increase in minutes.
NM/BW will start at PG/SG, I believe JG/TA will play SF, meaning the leftover minutes that NM or BW don't play at SG with go to DD, which I am guessing he will be the first G off the bench in this rotation.

[KansasCityCats]

the only time that Greene will play SF is when Nico and B-Will are both in the game. Otherwise, Josh will play SG.

Miller will utilize Gettings like he did Tollefsen at SF. Unless one of our point guards is hurt or in foul trouble, I can't envision how we don't have a logjam at the 2/3.

I guess we'll see if/when Hazzard commits.

I see us going small a lot using Josh and Terry in the game together a lot. Even with Nico and BWill in the game. 6'5"/6'6" wings can create a huge mis.atch when they are all over the court together. Small being with one big in. CSM will put his best players on the court.

agree with this, small ball is a lot more popular than the huge lineups that are being suggested, and simply hitting 3s like hazzard does can be a lot more valuable than people think, say for example against Washington's zone
